...because I'm shrinking.

At my bi-decade physical my very able doctor informed me that I'm a half-inch shorter and four pounds heavier than my last physical.  By my math I will become an oompah-loompah by the year 2025.

Heavier I understand, but shorter? I never really thought that happened. I'm quite certain I will not be America's next top model.

Don't feel bad Ted, my husband has shrunk 3 inches in height in the last 26 1/2 years of marriage. Not that I think it has anything to do with marriage lol! His doctor told him that it has something to do with bone loss. I think it's sorta like osteoperosis. My husband is 49 years old and works with mortar and concrete every day. The doctor says that those two things contributed greatly to his arthritis as well. He said that my husband should be on a really good calcium suppliment to prevent further damage.

I had thoracic surgery almost 10 years ago and I grew 2 more inches since then.Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket But, my feet grew too.Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

The doctors said I probably had the melon sized since I was a kid, but weren't sure if it caused the stunted growth.

Ted: Hey Bart, what's the weather like up there?
Katrina: Cold. And drafty. Reeally really drafty.
Bart: I'd love to tell ya there, Ted, but I can't see. And Brad's head interfered with the satelittes when he was out grilling, so. . .
Brad: I've had kinda a bad day, okay?? I can't even use the fancy shmancy new bathrooms because my head won't fit in the door!
Ted: Hey Pip, when's the next Brewer's game?
Tom P: Well . . . it's today.
Ted: I might have encountered a slight problem in catching the game ball.
Brad: Hey no problem! I've taken over Bernie's job. You can sit up on the slide!
Ted: (claps hands) YAAAYYYY!!!!

We all must be very, very bored lately!!
LOL!!
Well, soon the festivals start and we all will be less bored.

Great job jjg and Pretty!!!

Ted, I hate to inform you, but, the grey sideburns, shortening spine and slow reaction time (missing the foulball) are all part of aging. I'm almost 45 years old and I've noticed many of these changes. Don't worry....when you're 60 and still reporting for us, we will make it a point to pat you on the head and tell you you're still doing well. Of course, you won't hear us, but you'll know we still love you.

Ted, was your doctor's appointment in the afternoon? Last year, I had an afternoon appointment and supposedly shrunk an inch. This year, I went in the morning and I was my usual 5' 7". Also, slouching at your desk all day can make it appear worse. So unless they know you're not getting enough calcium, I wouldn't worry too much about shrinking.

My 74 year old dad is about two inches shorter than me. I originally caught up to him in high school and we were the same height for quite a long time, so maybe you won't become an oompah loompah after all. At least not until you're really old!
